Field Fluorometer

Field Fluorometer (667x250)

The 10AU Field Fluorometer is a field-portable instrument that can be set up to measure concentrations of specific substances by fluorometry using continuous-flow monitoring or discrete sample analyses. A variety of compounds can be easily measured using application-specific optical filters and those currently held in SEES are for the determination of:
